were holding for higher figures on some lots
of especially fine grain, but lower grades

ceived 443 cars. Minneapolis stocks in

Flour-There was no change in this mar
ket to-day in either prices ruling or in extent
of demand. With production of some 90
600 bbls daily, there is not much fear OF ac-
cumulatons as it is believed stocks through
out this country average light. High prices
for potatoes and for corn, the two articles in
competition with flour more than any others,
increases the consumption of the latter. Per-
hapS there has been no previous season when
patents were so largely consumed as this.
That has been fortunate, too, for millers, as
foreign buyers have stuck to bakers or other
medium qualities. If, after the holidays,
buyers from abroad take patents, as there are
indications of, then prices may be expected
to harden for them. The high prices of the
very lowest red dog, shorts and bran have
enabled millers to sell patents low and still
realize fair per cent of profit on the whole.
